I just got back from sending au yong off on his bus ride back to KL. I guess I’ll see him again soon, but couldn’t help but feel just a tad sad then, especially after the great weekend we just had.

I realized I haven’t really enjoyed my weekends like this in a long time. I guess it’s because I’ve really made sure I finished up all the work I needed to do so that I don’t have to freak out about deadlines while I’m out halfway shopping or something. He’s also relatively stress-free since he’s officially finished education, forever. It’s just so much nicer knowing that all the time in that weekend is dedicated for each other only, with nothing else to worry about.

We had fun at Bar None, and it was apparent we’d be bankrupt before we can even get ourselves slightly intoxicated on the booze. But the band Jive Talking was pretty good. smiley

Did more shopping during the weekend. I actually managed to NOT buy any books/clothes/shoes/other-cute-thingys-that-I-don’t-need. teehee. But he got me a nice bag. wheee. And we did more makan makan and makan. Or rather, we kinda overdid it on the ‘makan makan makan’ side (we had a SIX-piece chicken SET from kfc for our TV dinner watching EPL). I embarked on a burping spree soon after.

Brewerkz was nice. Nice beer (2nd time I ever used another word other than ‘yucks’ to describe beer), and they had live F1 telecast! (that earns extra brownie points) I kinda miss watching F1 with him. (Well, he got me into the whole thing to begin with.) It was a nice place to be at, if you’re a McLaren fan. smiley Perfect evening, if Montoya hadn’t screwed up at the end of the race, and if I hadn’t accidentally ate the chillies in the salsa dip.

But despite all the fun stuff, I think the single reason that had me singling this out as one of the best weekends I had was the great company. In essence, we are pretty different people (for starters, IT genius vs. tech e-diot) but we still find a lot of stuff to laugh about together and share.

Sometimes I envy friends who can go off and have a meal with their other-halves at anytime, while I had to be content with my Skype calls and just sit and wait for weeks just for the next dinner together. But when I think about it again, I guess I don’t mind waiting a bit ’cause we end up truly appreciating every moment, even the minutes on the phone calls.

So I’m just going to sit here, and wait patiently for the next available weekend (and pray for less Saturday project reviews n etc). smiley
